WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 2012 – Tri City Cheese and Meats, a Kawkawlin, Mich., establishment, is recalling
approximately 271 pounds of Jalapeņo Vienna sausage products because they are misbranded in that they contain monosodium glutamate (MSG),
which is not declared on the label, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.
The following product is subject to recall: [View Label]
- 1- and 2.5-lb. Cryovac bags of "Troll Smokehouse Fully Cooked Jalapeņo Vienna."
The product subject to recall bears the establishment number "EST. 32015" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
This product was produced Oct. 18, 2012 through Nov. 6, 2012, and packages have a sell by date of "12/17/12" through
"01/03/13." The product was distributed to retail establishments in Michigan.
The problem was discovered by FSIS personnel during a routine label review. MSG is a sub-ingredient in the spice blend used to
make the product, but it was not listed on the final product label. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse
reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks (including at restaurants) to verify recalling firms notify their customers
of the recall and to ensure that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
Consumers and media with questions about the recall should contact Sarah David at (989) 686-3210.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a
day at AskKaren.gov or via smartphone at m.askkaren.gov.
"Ask Karen" live chat services are available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. The
toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and
can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are
available 24 hours a day.
